Team Oink is making their last regular appearance at the Hoedown this week and will be working with Hambo's rubber images for the next two months. Next week we welcome Team Squeal to the Hoedown. So let's give a big shout out to our Bacon Bits on Team Oink, who have made some fun things to get your mojo going! Have a peek:

Never been to Pinterest? Oh my, have we got a surprise for you! Old hat to you? Well, you will love our inspiration there. It is still a work in progress, of course, and we are adding creations each week! We have TWO boards. One for our Best in Show winner creations and one for current and former Bacon Bits creations. You can go to either of those boards to find your inspiration and card to case (just click on either link):.

In your blog post or card description, please give a link or post a photo of the card that you CASED (copy and share everything!). To see which cards our Team Oink cased, you will need to click on their names below their creations and have a blog visit!

Remember that you don't have to use Basketball. BUT we do require HAMBO images only --- and you can use ANY of those for our challenge this week! We have a wonderful line of rubber images, as well as digis and we like seeing those too!

NOTE: This week's challenge will actually run for TWO weeks, so that everyone has ample time to play along, and those in the U.S. can also spend time with their families and travel over the Thanksgiving holidays. Our next challenge will be posted on 11-28-12.

Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown,
our fun weekly challenge where you can earn a free digi each week that
you participate and meet all requirements. And in addition to the free
digi, there are some bragging rights up for grabs if you earn one of our
two weekly awards. (See the sidebar for details.)

We are thankful for many things here in the Pig Pen: Our families, our Veterans, for those currently serving in the Military (including our Bacon Bit Deborah's husband!), basic needs we take for granted every day (like electricity!), our pets, crafting and creating, YOU!......so many things we each could list. Perhaps you are doing the 30 days of Gratitude! In any case, this week we bring you an image that reminds us of all of those things.

This image was sent FREE to those who played in our challenge last week. BUY IT HERE!

And with Cornucopia, we are looking for projects that incorporate some kind of BURLAP.

Remember that you don't have to use "Cornucopia" but we do require HAMBO images only! We have a wonderful line of rubber images as well as digis and we like seeing those too!

We will continue to carry cling cushion and bare rubber.
